Engagement on disarmament, weapons of mass destruction and nuclear disarmament

Beyond the history of the use of certain poisons as warfare strategies dating back to ancient Greece, we can affirm that the widespread use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) dates back to the 20th century. The first large-scale use of WMD, in particular, chemical weapons, was during World War I. Despite some efforts and attempts by the League of Nations, Mussolini would use mustard gas in the war against Ethiopia between 1935 and 1936; Japan would deploy the use of biological weapons in China from 1937 onwards, and it materialized perversely during the Holocaust in the Second World War.
